My theory is they will not allow Priority Pass Select memberships, which is what every US Priority Pass membership through a credit card has (take a look at your PP card, right hand side). CSR cardholders will need to show their actual CC, non-select PP cardholders will get access with their PP card.

I really like the C1 lounge and think it beats Centurions overall (especially the IKEA-cafeteria that the DFW CL feels like with the crowding), but the one area I don't love with C1 is the complimentary liquor selection. They have some okay smaller options, but generally only one of each main liquor type with charges for anything else, including some fairly basic ones. Centurion has a gobsmackingly good selection of liquor, with a wide variety of brands that I have not seen rivaled by another pay lounge. Even among int'l airline-branded lounges, only a few have a selection that matches/beats for J lounges, and while F lounges generally have higher end options, it is still often a smaller variety of offerings in that regard.
